Anything that enables random third parties to bring a claim with their own kooky alternate universe of the mind legal rationale, like the DMCA or the False Claims Act, is really the gift that keeps on giving; I can see the heritage foundation types drooling on themselves over the prospect of having a new one of those just for their culture war bugbears

this episode made me realize that the united states *needs* to put a dog on the moon. and more importantly, before the chineeze do!

Can’t believe you didn’t mention that the great film The Mask 1994 takes place in a city called ”Edge City”. A true disruptor that Mask.

I can't stop seeing the AI video of Charlie Kirk and Ann Widdecombe snogging in my head and I think we should all get emotional damage payments.

it's also like a really annoying counterpoint to the whole like "Kamala would have been the same" crowd, like yeah sure, she was in the room when the Palestine genocide started, and I could see her getting roped into a stupid Iran war, and she might have even have done some bone headed cuts into the public sector, but she wouldn't have sold the door handles for scrap metal like this

you know how for the longest time you can just point to almost any problem and say "it's because of Reagan" and be right? It's so cool how we're going to have a new one of those just because of DOGE and OBBBA

The idea of burning man but you don’t do drugs is one of the most incredibly annoying concepts in all of history

Can confirm. The Prisoner is a baller show (Sadly someone did remake the Prisoner in 2009. The screencaps l could find all look like bland shit. which is just a shame).

Corporate-inspirational-style poster on the wall: "Questions are a burden to others. Answers, a prison for oneself." In 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 font. Such a great show.

Everytime I hear "return power to the people" I translate that as "we don't want to be blamed for all the fuck ups we caused and cannot fix"

I love how the key feature of the federal civil service until DOGE eradicated it was essentially a strategic reserve of savants

A Shade In Shades · July 21, 2026

If Burnham wants to organise a competition to settle in-fighting within the Labour party, it should take a format which is very British, but not London oriented. A Warhammer 40k tournament in the Downing Street Garden perhaps.

Frankly this is on your partner. One or the other deserves your full attention for one thing, and for another it's not reasonable to expect you to hold off swallowing when bits of this calibre are incoming

There's a time they're supposed to release? I've only been a subscriber for... two, three years but I was sure it was just a bit and not an actual thing they were trying to do all this time
